Skip-the-Line Neuschwanstein Castle Half-Day Tour from Fuessen

The highlight of our travels through Germany and Austria. The mountains and castle look like a fairy tale. Memories our family will never forget.

I didn’t know the booking was through a hostel so I was thrown off by that. We got a van ride from Füssen, and our tickets were retrieved by the tour guide, but it seems like that was the extent of the package. Not really worth 42 dollars if you just want an entrance ticket to the castle for 13 euros and a bus ride from town for 2.50 euros. The tour guide was a nice person though.

If i could leave negative reviews i absolutely would! I was told on the phone by the person booking my “tour” we’d have a tour of the Austrian border...that didn’t happen....then to pick up my tickets i had to go to some random persons apartment...super sketchy. This was a complete rip off....I beg anyone to just call the hotels in the area or the ticket center and get the information for yourself plus this company charges you way more because they get a huge commission off of you!!!! Complete rip off! DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE

Perfect, exactly what we needed to get into the castle the minute. The tour organizers were punctual and very accommodating to us taking our own car there.

The castle is amazing. We had a little hiccup to start the tour, but the operators dealt with the issue and we were able to get back on track.

I have no real complaints about this tour however please read this carefully. Due to an exceptionally busy time at work by the time I tried to book advance Neuschwanstein Castle tickets on the official site four days prior to our arrival they were all gone. Owing to a tight holiday schedule I decided it was too much of a risk to turn up at the ticket centre on the day to be told there was no tickets or the next available tour was 4/5 hours away. For this reason I booked this tour to guarantee entry for me, my wife and 4 year old daughter. On the day we arrived at the LA hostel in our hire car where we met the driver/ guide. He told us it would be best for us to take our own car so that we didn't need to wait until 1 o'clock to leave we were the only people on the tour that day which suited us as we were time pressed to travel to Garmisch. We followed him on the 10 minute drive to the ticket centre where he got our tickets and gave us the 6 euros it cost for the parking at the castle. As per the info on the booking page he was not the castle guide and left us to it. In a nutshell this tour served us the purpose of guaranteeing entry to the castle, however we paid 76 for the privilege. If tickets had been available on the official site the cost of tickets, booking fee and parking would have been around 30. Although I can't say for sure because we went in our car I presume that if we'd gone on the bus we'd have gone the same route and like other people reviewing have said it would really just have been a super expensive 10 minute each way taxi ride. I'd suggest you consider booking early from the official ticket office although as above if the tickets are sold out this tour will facilitate guaranteed access at a late stage.

Beautiful place, a must see. Getting a ride and having tickets waiting was a big advantage. Time is pretty tight, didn't get much beyond the 2 castles. Also driver essentially just drops you off and leaves.

It was nice not to have to wait in line.

Did not have to wait in line for tickets. Driver was friendly. The tour was awesome!
